I had a look through the Cenelec document "Information on the links between Products, Directives and Standards", and the only reference I could find was: "Fire testing - Cables - Gases evolved during combustion - Degree of Acidity", which is standard HD-602-S1 and is invoked by the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC (which you have to CE mark for after 1/1/97). Other than that, the only other reference to toxic fumes was "Fire Hazard - Miniminalization of toxic hazards - General" which is standard EN60695-7-1 (dor 1995), but it doesn't seem to be invoked by any Directive. Don't know that this helps, but you never know...
